I want to believe that New York City is like a wilderness: you can mark the trees, study your paths, and still be surprised to discover new things all the time. Brooklyn certainly feels that way! Yesterday, though, I discovered new areas of Manhattan that showed me there is still[…]

I knew I’d be suffering from 5 Fandom Friday withdrawal today, and it just didn’t feel right not to post a list of things I love on a Friday. SO! Inspired by so many other awesome “My Favourite Instagram Accounts To Follow” posts, I thought I’d share some Insta-love for[…]

You play it safe and practice Protected Sex, but do you also practice Protected Love? I know I do. Dating is often referred to as a “game.” It’s easy to imagine it like a back-and-forth game of catch with your heart. You keep putting yourself out there, hoping your partner[…]

I always say, it’s summer in New York until THE SECOND it becomes winter and then it’s winter until THE SECOND it becomes summer. When did winter happen, you ask? Winter happened overnight on October 1st. Which is cool! I can appreciate you, winter, for being organized and arriving on[…]

Every year, the NYPIRG Straphangers Campaign evaluate every line of the NYC Subway according to their criteria and rank it from BEST to WORST, publishing a “Subway Report Card” to help us know which lines to avoid. How do they determine which subways are up to snuff and which can[…]

So many helpful articles on the Internet already exist to tell you how to SURVIVE a comic convention, how to GET THE MOST OUT OF a comic convention, blah blah blah. I was going to write that article but damn, it’s already been done did-ed already! So instead, in the[…]

FEELING: Compared to last month? Soooo much better. Oh, I’m going out and doing things, taking on projects, I feel more confident in my ability to move on with my life and do things. From little things like painting the bathroom and putting up the shelves in the office, to[…]

Four months after moving to Greenpoint and the weather is perfect. Just right to go kick some things off the Greenpoint bucket list! You know, explore as far as possible, eat at the restaurants you keep saying you’re going to, and drink Bloody Marys because that’s what weekends are for.[…]

Autumn is the time when we can get really, REALLY BASIC and declare our love of the obvious – and the less obvious – 1. Jacket weather layering fashion is an art form, ladies and gentlemen. Don’t believe me? You must live in a climate where you never get cold. […]

New York! You can live here for years, and still have no idea what’s happening. It’s been almost seven years for me, and I can’t begin to tell you why it’s so weird. Take yesterday night in SoHo, for instance. I was all dressed up to go to a gallery[…]

As soon as you announce that blissful decision: “We’re moving in together!” well-meaning advice mongerers will load your ears with fears about living with a partner. So much has been said about the drawbacks, that I want to preach the benefits! When you live with a roommate, you are[…]

My new neighbourhood is the greatest! I’m so excited to be a Brooklyner, especially in such a quaint, adorable part of town. Over the past weekend, I had the chance to explore and photograph just a small handful of places around town (and dine at them). No better way to[…]
